Are My Past Lives Important?
Are you aware of the fact that there are more people who actually believe in reincarnation than those who don't? For many individuals, such as Buddhists and Hindus, as part of their religion, it's a way of life. On the other hand, there are those who are simply curious or maybe looking for answers to help them solve some of life's mysteries along with the people who think reincarnation is the most common sense approach when considering past lives. For those of you who have a desire to remember your past lives, there are quite a few ways you can go about things.
Keeping Track of Your Experiences
All too often we are presented with very real and very valuable clues with regards to a past life, only to brush it aside, believing the experience to be of little significance. It's for this exact reason why it's of such importance to keep a record of events by writing them down. Furthermore, it's of particular importance that you record the emotional effect any given experience may have had on you as our emotions are more often than not, our strongest and most accurate indicators.
Your present daily life is more often than not, full of clues if only you're willing to look for them. Keeping a list of the things you like and dislike such as various foods, cultures, religions, and even architecture, can also shed some light on certain mysteries. In addition to this, one should keep a similar record with regards to one's personal traits such as personality, temperament, talents, and even any particular phobias you may have. Even things which may appear to be of little importance, such as a birthmark or your favorite type of animal, can all serve to provide additional clues.
As past lives may show up while you are sleeping, it’s a good idea to record what you dream about, but bear in mind the symbols of your dreams may represent your current life as well as any past lives. Just before you fall asleep, tell yourself you would like to learn about your past lives and make sure you record anything you can remember in your journal when you wake.
Regression Therapy
If you're in a position which allows you to consult with a professional therapist, then it is certainly advisable that you do so. Such professionals are trained and certified in this field and are therefor able to offer valuable guidance. Furthermore, a therapist can also help you to understand any information you receive. If for any reason you have difficulty finding a professional therapist, simply contact the International Association of Regression, Research and Therapies or the International Association of Past Life Therapists. Both of these organizations train and certify therapists and will be happy to help you.
Meditation
Meditation can be highly effective in providing clues regarding past lives. However, because of the very personal nature of meditation, many tend to have some issues as far as trusting the information they receive is concerned. Because of this, it is always recommended that you follow your instincts, relying on your own sixth sense.
On the topic of meditation, one should realize that one's subconscious is extremely vulnerable to suggestion. As a result, you mind will retrieve or recall the type of information you instruct it to. Likewise, if in your heart you believe you cannot recall past life experiences, then the chances are you won't. Many people refer to meditation as a dream-like state and while this certainly is true, valuable clues and information can be revealed. Here again, your best bet is to write down everything you recall in order for you to analyze it at a later time.
Staring into the flames of a fire, or at any flame for that matter, can be beneficial for meditating although some people pr4efer audio stimulation instead, such as soft music. Of course not everyone requires stimulation as many prefer total silence instead.
A more recent discovery has also surfaced lately which has been showing some very promising results. Know as \"binaural beats\", this new technology involves playing sound waves of different frequencies in each ear. So far, results tend to suggest that this process an instantaneous feeling of deep relaxation, much the same as experienced by the famous Zen monks when they meditate.
Irrespective of which method suits you best, have a quiet and peaceful surrounding is of utmost importance.
Providing one can maintain an open and receptive mind, you may choose to lie down or sit while meditating. Of course your attention should be solely devoted to muscle relaxation and a clear mind. Any thoughts which threaten to distract you should simply be acknowledged briefly and then allowed to pass by. Questions which arise should of course be dealt with in much the same way, Simply by answering them and then letting them go. Admittedly this may require some practice at first but it does get easier with time, Expect only deep relaxation from yourself and nothing else. The answers you are seeking will come to you, even though this may only happen when you're not expecting it.
The pictures you get in your mind will help you to determine something in your life whether or not you believe in reincarnation. Of course, you may not be sure the images are from a previous life but sometimes people are able to piece together sufficient information to carry out research and verify the names, places and occasions which have arisen.
Another thing often discovered is that those close to you now also played a part in your previous life, although the relationship may well be different. For instance, your father in your present life may have been your brother previously.
Whether you choose to believe in reincarnation or not, for the most part, regression proves to be helpful for most people and for those who remain skeptical, regression will at least prove to be unimaginably interesting.
